Sorry - didnt know there was a minimum hands played/experience level to post here.
I am not a "full-time" player, but prob somewhere in the 200-300k range over the last 3 years (about 200 hands/day). Alot of limit, trying to adjust to NL and evidently not very well.
I just dont see why its so obvious that he played his hand correctly. So if the J didnt come on the turn or river and he loses $37 (or more) is it still correct play by him? If not, why is it correct only if he hits one of two remaining jacks in the deck? If he thinks he has a winner on the flop thats his problem, it doesnt mean that I played incorrectly up until then. And yea he got paid off, but I made a wrong decision there - wish I could play as perfect as many of you.
I dont always raise 6x bb with aces of course, but at a very tight table I am always carefull to not start limping or weak-raise/calling just to gererate some pots, because usually that gets me into more trouble. And in this case for some reason I was actually trying to play super-tight and super-corrrect play, and make my $12.50 over 2 hours and go home since it was the only
1/2 table up and running. I know all about playing opposite to the table tendencies, but I wasnt doing that so too bad for me.
Any good NL cash-game books anyone can recommend? Ive read plenty but usually only short chapters on nl ring games or tourny games. thanks.
